If you want to listen to smart people being SUPER excited about their favorite things, The Ologies Podcast cannot be recommended highly enough!
Ologies is beautiful. As well as the entire Stuff You Should Know catalog, imo
Due to some ancient meme I can only see this gif with MGS alert music in my head.
The Universe: Exists
Also the Universe: Doesn't explain itself
Scientists: What in the goddamn fuck
Scientists: Tries to look for answers
The Universe: Not so fast *does everything in its power to stop the Scientists from figuring out how it all works, why it exists and is the way that it is.
I like to think of it as this super huge structure, with all these mysterious facets and faces cut into it. We found it, have no idea how to properly measure or capture it. We started as blind men, groping their eay through the dark, and now we've found ways to light a flame and to see the surface before us, but it's so huge and there's so many patterns layered over patterns that it's uncomprehendingly beautiful and we have to continue to invent new tools and methods of processing what's before us.
Doubt.
-PhilosiphersAm science, can confirm
Where the fuck are we?
Why the fuck are we?
HOW we fuck the are?
